First Priority GreenFleet Ltd. has acquired the assets of Electric Vehicle International, LLC (EVI) to enhance the company's electric vehicle offerings, according to the company.

"Under the GreenFleet banner, we intend to offer our customers a full range of zero and low-emission options that will allow them to select the products that best fit their needs," said Alex N. Cherepakhov, CEO of GreenFleet.

GreenFleet plans to offer a customer-centric service network that will offer existing and new customers a "white glove" experience.

"In 2016, we will rapidly mobilize our core expertise to implement a bi-coastal manufacturing and engineering capability with an extensive service network which will set a new standard for the industry," said Cherepakhov.

First Priority GreenFleet is a member of the First Priority Global Ltd. corporate family, which is known for manufacturing, designing, and distributing a comprehensive product line of specialty vehicles and trucks.

A move by the White House to roll back automobile fuel-efficiency targets set by the Obama administration and to challenge the right of California and other states to set stricter tailpipe emission rules faces an uphill climb.

After a court challenge stymied its efforts to give makers of glider kits a reprieve from challenged provisions of its greenhouse gas regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency has withdrawn an order to not enforce those regulations against small manufacturers of glider kits.

A federal court has granted a temporary stay that suspends the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to not enforce for 2018 and 2019 a 300-unit production cap put in place on the manufacture of glider kits/vehicles that do not comply with Phase 2 GHG emission rules.
